Summary - 3 ROUTH WALK WHITBY YO21 3AL
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Immaculate two-bedroom, ready-made holiday let close to shops and sea.
Central town-centre location — steps from shops, pubs and the beach
Set over multiple levels in the heart of Whitby, this immaculate two-bedroom cottage offers immediate rental potential and classic period character. Original wooden floors and feature fireplaces give the living spaces charm, while a contemporary eat-in kitchen and useful utility/WC on the lower-ground level deliver practical, low-maintenance living. At 710 sqft and offered freehold, the property is presented ready for occupation or continued short-term letting; contents can be negotiated.
The layout is compact and stacked across several floors, making the house ideal as a turn-key holiday let, bolthole or pied-à-terre for a couple. The raised front door and narrow, sloping street reflect the traditional town-centre setting; there is no garden or forecourt, so outdoor space is limited. The property’s central location places shops, eateries, pubs and the beach within moments on foot, a clear draw for visitors and tenants.
Buyers should note the compact footprint and multiple stair flights, which may be unsuitable for those needing level access or significant storage. The broader neighbourhood is classified as an area of deprivation and ageing urban communities, though crime rates are reported low and connectivity is strong (excellent mobile signal, fast broadband). This combination supports short-term rental demand but may influence long-term owner-occupier expectations.
Overall, this character cottage represents a straightforward, low-upkeep ownership proposition with strong town-centre convenience and proven holiday-let credentials. It suits buyers prioritising location and immediate income over external space or large family accommodation.
